Company profile

Xianyang CaiHong Optoelectronics Technology (also known as CHOT) is a designer and manufacturer of thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT LCD) panels. Founded in 2015, the company is privately held and headquartered in Xianyang, China. It operates as a factory owned by Caihong Display Devices. While specific employee or revenue figures for Xianyang CaiHong Optoelectronics Technology are not publicly available, it is part of a large-scale display manufacturing ecosystem, with a Gen 8.6 LCD factory. There are ongoing discussions regarding BOE's potential acquisition of a controlling interest in CHOT's Gen 8.6 LCD factory.

The company's primary operations involve the design and production of advanced display panels. This includes ultra-high definition (8K4K, 4K2K), wide color gamut, curved surface, and borderless LCDs. Xianyang CaiHong Optoelectronics Technology also manufactures related components such as liquid crystal materials, polarizers, and backlight modules.

In terms of patent litigation, Xianyang appears as a defendant in its single tracked case, indicating an operating company posture, defending against infringement claims. The company is not characterized as a Non-Practicing Entity (NPE).

The sole notable case involving Xianyang is Corning Incorporated v. HKC Corp et al., filed in the International Trade Commission (ITC) on January 31, 2025. Xianyang is listed as a co-defendant alongside HKC Corp. The ITC is a common venue for disputes concerning imported goods, suggesting the litigation pertains to display products manufactured by Xianyang CaiHong Optoelectronics Technology. Corning is a leading supplier of specialty glass, often used in display substrates, which aligns with the defendants' business in display panel manufacturing.
